If anyone is in New Orleans for the Prospect 1 hoopla, and looking for a fun time Sunday night, come check out Kyle's and my latest labor of love, The Front (number 64 on your prospect one map) at 4100 St. Claude. There are four solo shows on view in the gallery (www.nolafront.org). Starting at 7:00 sharp (don't forget the time change) is our animation party (www.cartunexprez.com). There will be beer, popcorn, and good times. It'll be projected on an outdoor screen, so bring a blanket:
Please join us for our grand-opening and inaugural event, Cartune Xprez!!!
WHO: Cartune Xprez, a traveling animation party
WHAT: Live multimedia performance by Hooliganship followed by an animation screening
WHEN: Sunday, Nov. 2, 7:00p.m. hospitality support provided by The Saint Bar & Lounge. 961 Saint Mary St
WHERE: The Front, 4100 St. Claude Ave
The multimedia dance duo Hooliganship will present the freshest incarnation of "Cartune
Xprez", an 80-minute program of short animated videos and performances that celebrates the wilderness of imagination through motion pictures. Featured artists include Bruce Bickford, Shana Moulton, Takeshi Murata, Paper Rad and more. Alongside this cartoon theater they will be performing their most recent piece entitled "Realer" in which audiences strap on a pair of 3D glasses to bear witness to a televised parade gone awry. This is a one-night event that has been in the works for 2 years. It is very special program with a collective resume including collaborations with Frank Zappa and major exhibitions at the Whitney Biennial, the MOMA in New York, the Sundance Film Festival, and many other institutions throughout the world.
